AuthorTopic: Desktop clocks (Read 4633 times)

Hi! I'm looking for a desktop clock with a few more options and features than xclock has, at least in analog form. I've tried googling for linux + desktop + clock but all I get are reams of Windows clocks.

If it helps...I really like the XONCLOCK it is an anolog with second hand and nicer than xclock..it is easy to install with ./configure, make, su to root, make install...just copy the sample rc file to user and rename to .xonclockrc..this will allow you to move it around and change the configuration.

if you need an alarm clock I like the xmms alarm plugin..it allows you to wake with a playlist and has a reminder

I like the daliclock as a digital screensaver clock and it will also open in a window..I had an install error but it seems to function without issue as my root window fuctioning as wallpaper

If you use fluxbox you can add these in a submenu

although I found them by chance they seem to be listed in the above link

I've decided that for now the solution that suits me best is to use xclock in digital format with the foreground and background colours chosen in accordance with those on the desktop wallpaper I'm using; I use a desktop colour picking utility called gcolor2 to determine the hexadecimal representation of any colour I'm interested in. For example, White Smoke, a very light grey, is F5F5F5.
